Numerical Analysis for Statisticians (Statistics and Computing)Kenneth Lange
ReviewFrom the reviews: "This book provides reasonably good coverage of numerical methods that are important in statistical applications. ...but overall the text serves as a good introduction to computational statistics." - MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS From the reviews of the second edition: “This is a comprehensive handbook for anyone with an interest in computational statistics, such as instructors, statisticians, modelers, data mining analysts, and software designers. For a reader with good working knowledge of numerical analysis, the book is useful for understanding the advantages and disadvantages of different numerical methods. … also suitable for students interested in refining their knowledge: a list of problems with gradually increasing difficulty is available, in addition to a list of very carefully chosen references (a real support for the reader).” (Dragos Calitoiu, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 g) “The aim and scope of this edition is to provide upper level undergraduate students, graduate students and even researchers the understanding and working knowledge of different numerical methods. … The book is organized sequentially and is well structured. … The book can be served as a textbook and equally as a reference book. … the book will appeal to a broad interdisciplinary research community. It can also successfully be used as a reference book for practitioners, providing concrete examples, data and exercises of statistical applications.” (Technometrics, Vol. 53 (2), May, 2011)
